Yes, Deel offers a dedicated feature known as Deel Wallet, which functions as a digital payment account specifically designed for its users.
What is Deel Wallet?
The Deel Wallet is a payment account primarily available to Deel workers and contractors, notably those in the US. It is designed to provide a seamless financial experience, allowing users to manage and access their earnings directly within the Deel ecosystem.
Unlike traditional methods that often require withdrawing funds to an external bank account, the Deel Wallet enables contractors to spend and transfer their funds directly, minimizing the need for immediate external transfers. This integration simplifies the process of receiving and utilizing payments processed through Deel's global payroll and compliance platform.

- Integrated Payment Account: It serves as a direct payment destination for earnings received via the Deel platform.

- Reduced Friction: By eliminating intermediate steps, it offers a more efficient way to handle payments, potentially reducing transaction times and fees associated with multiple transfers.
- Convenience: For eligible contractors, it provides a centralized place within Deel to manage earned income.
